初中生应对方式、压力对社会适应的影响：纵向中介模型

The Influence of Coping Strategies and Pressure on Social Adjustment in Secondary School Students:Longitudinal Mediation Models

青春期的适应问题及其影响因素历来是研究者关注的焦点。本研究对369名初中生从初一到初三的应对方式、压力、社会适应进行了四次调查,通过纵向中介模型考察应对方式、压力对社会适应的影响。结果表明:初一时期的积极应对方式能够直接提高初三时期的积极适应水平,直接降低消极适应水平;初一时期的消极应对方式会通过提高后期的压力间接提高初三时期的消极适应水平。

In prior research much attention has been drawn to the concern of social adjustment during puberty, while few researchers have addressed the longitudinal mediation mechanism among coping, pressure and social ad- justment. Path analysis was utilized in current research to investigate the longitudinal associations among pressure, coping and social adjustment using a sample of 369 Chinese secondary school students from seventh grade to ninth grade. Results indicate the hypothesized link between pressure and adjustment, the link between coping and adjust- ment, and the role of coping played on pressure were validated. Furthermore, the association between initial nega- tive coping and later negative social adjustment was longitudinally mediated by pressure, providing support for the mediation mechanism in which negative coping leads to an increase in pressure, which in turn worsens students＇ social adjustment. Findings suggest that the effect of coping on pressure and the longitudinal indirect effect of pres- sure on social adjustment through coping remains to be verified in the future.
